Running the Demand Management Processing Engine

The Demand Management Processing engine is used to mark orders matching specified demand management rules. The engine can run on a schedule or manually, considers orders that are marked for demand promotion and demand exclusion, and should be run before inventory planning and demand planning engines that analyze demand (order) history. The engine processes data management rules in the New and Modified states in the following way:

1. For rules in the Modified states, the engine first reads orders that were previously processed by the given rules and resets all rule-related settings on those orders.

2. Then, for rules in both the New and Modified states, the engine reads orders matching the given rules and marks that the orders have been processed by the given rule.

3. Lastly, the engine updates the collected order data and changes the rule state to Applied.
